Please remember that all this month's additions and updates have been flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. Yes, there is a lot going on and we're not standing still. In recent times,a number of fund raising Translations Projects were added and you are invited to look at this ever growing list and perhaps, help one of these projects financially so that we can continue on adding on to these extraordinary links to our past.
